Our Children’s Vision

Optometry Giving Sight invites you to support Our Children’s Vision, a global campaign helping to ensure that every child, everywhere has access to the eye care they need.

80% of what a child learns is processed through their visual system, so it’s critical that every child can see clearly. To learn at school, every child needs to be able to see their textbooks and lessons on the board or screen. To develop relationships with their peers, they need to be able to see faces and play safely. To take in the world around them – they use their eyes.

There are millions of children in the world who are needlessly vision impaired. Failure to diagnose or treat vision issues can impact a child’s life forever, and create an extraordinary economic cost to the community.
